Topic: Medicom RAH Darth Vader (Read 13610 times)

My hopes were really high for this one and it left me very disappointed. The box was flimsy and came with a mashed corner. Vader's chest plate has a hook in it to hold the cape chain in place so the plastic bent and it sticks out at a weird angle. Plus he is really small. I can't put it anywhere near any figures in that scale because he gets totally dwarfed by them. I'm just glad he came with a pair of limp wrist hands so I can pose him crying because he sucks. What a colossal waste of money. I feel ripped off.

If this uses the same amazingly poseable body as the original (and it appears to based on the pictures), I think I may have finally decided that I need this bad boy. That face sculpt is amazing! (And since I don't have any Hasbro 12" figures, I won't notice that it's shorter than those, so it's all good )

I'll have to watch my e-mail closely the next few days for the Robby.jp announcement of its pre-order availability. When it comes up, I'll mention it here and anyone who's interested in one can go in with me.

I just received my e-mail from Robby.jp to pre-order the unmasked RAH Darth Vader - they are listing it for 11,700 yen ($103.37US or $121.38CDN) and expect it to retail for 18,000 yen ($159.02US or $186.66CDN).

It has to be pre-ordered by October 10th and will ship December 31st.

Of course, that doesn't include shipping, which won't be cheap coming from Japan.
